Ethics is of concern to accountants and the accounting profession. Previous studies (Cohen, Pant & Sharp, 1995; Schultz, Johnson, Morrris & Dymes, 1993) find that accountants from different countries tend to view ethical problems differently. According to Hofstede (1980, 1991) this occurs because cultural differences influence ethical decision-making. This study extends the examination of cross-cultural differences using Hofstede's measure of national culture. It is hypothesized that cultural differences will result in accountants from China and Canada making different ethical assessments concerning the reporting of questionable accounting practices to a superior.

The Mexican cultural attribute of machismo will be considered as a major source for the proliferation of corruption throughout the government and society. It is proposed, based on previous research and biological findings, that the inclusion of more women into the government and business will reduce corruption.

This study builds on research that suggests socialization-defined as the learning of important organizational values and norms—is influenced by demographic characteristics of organizational members. Socialization experiences vary among newcomers depending upon their demographic similarity to current members, and this variation affects the turnover of demographically dissimilar newcomers.

Transactions over the internet pose challenges and concerns for consumers and public policy makers alike that include issues of privacy, accurate product information and quality, and protection of intellectual property rights. Our proposed research explores how ethical decision-making may differ between traditional business modes and the new internet model, and why such differences may occur.

The Institutional-Ideological Model forms the basis for an important way of organizing the field in which social issues scholars operate. Altered and extended to reflect further connections and depth in the model’s concepts, it can be both a useful teaching tool and a way of categorizing and diagnosing issues of interest to the field, in both contexts, institutional theory provides an important tool.

This paper is about diversity. It is about clergy in secular organizations. This paper is about clergy who has exited from church service and now work in secular working life. Postal and in-depth interviews were used with "exiting clergy". The study shows how there is a discrepancy between expectations from others and the clergy’s own motivation to perform specialised functions based on their past as clergymen. The contributions exemplify how diversity may inspire organizations beyond intentions.

This paper, based on a discussion session, uses Kohlberg’s (1969) theory of moral development and equity theory (Adams, 1965) to develop propositions concerning employees’ responses to equity or inequity in their relationships with their employers. Portions of this paper have been published in the 2001 Proceedings of the Institute for Behavioral and Applied Management Conference, Charleston, SC.

Ireland's economy has undergone enormous change over the past decade, with rapid development accompanied by increasing pressures upon the natural environment. One element of this process has been the development of an "enterprise culture" within Ireland. In this paper, we argue that Ireland is uniquely advantaged to build upon this enterprise culture, and to develop a "sustainable enterprise culture" that is more consistent with the principles of sustainable development. Indeed, we see this as a unique opportunity to further the development of Ireland in an economically, ecologically, and socially sustainable manner.

This exploratory study surveyed approximately 370 women leaders in industry, education, and government about factors that contributed to their success.Results indicate that most successful women come from, and live in, supportive and stable family circumstances. The biggest obstacle that most women leaders faced in achieving success was their gender, and for black women the additional obstacle encountered was their race.

Freeman correctly points out that the “business stuck story” presents a barrier to implementing value-based capitalism, but he ignores the obstacles created by the better financed and propagated “government sucks” story. The reality is that value-based capitalism requires government assistance in three distinct realms. The Schumpeterian principle asserts that government has always proven necessary for subsidizing “creation” and ameliorating “destruction,” while the Keynesian principle assures the continued health of markets through policies that bolster demand. The Jeffersonian principle demands government efforts to strengthen democracy in the public sphere while encouraging it in the private sector.

In this paper, we look at the prospects for mobilization of the wealthy to contest widening income inequality. We begin by looking at members of an organization that supports the mobilization of grassroots groups on behalf of economic justice. We found among its members an “unexpected voice” - the voice of wealthy people grappling with their fairly invisible wealth and their own surprise that it evoked such a series of emotions and a gradual process they termed “coming out” as wealthy. We discuss the implications of this identity formation and interpretation for the organization’s ability to shape a collective agenda for social change. This study locates a novel space at the intersection of business and society - where the spoils of business are used to redress societal inequalities, and even to reshape how business is conducted.

A review of some major theoretical contributions to the field of business ethics over the past fifteen years shows that the present state of the art suffers from some typical childhood diseases. In this paper we look into the manner of problem setting of these theories and identify a number of standard patterns in the conceptualization of business ethics.
